Set a static IP address with nmtui on Raspberry Pi OS 12 'Bookworm'
Old advice for setting a Raspberry Pi IP address to a static IP on the Pi itself said to edit the /etc/dhcpcd.conf
file, and add it there.
But on Raspberry Pi OS 12 and later, dhcpcd
is no longer used, everything goes through Network Manager, which is configured via nmcli
or nmtui
. If you're booting into the Pi OS desktop environment, editing the IP settings there is pretty easy.
But setting a static IP via the command line is a little different.
First, get the interface information—you can get a list of all interfaces with nmcli device status
:
$ nmcli device status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
eth0 ethernet connected Wired connection 1
lo loopback connected (externally) lo
wlan0 wifi disconnected --
In my case, I want to set an IP on eth0
, the built-in Ethernet.
I can get all the current information about that port with nmcli device show eth0
, and I can edit the connection using the terminal UI (nmtui
):
$ sudo nmtui edit "Wired connection 1"
This brings up a connection editor, where you can highlight "IPv4 CONFIGURATION" and change it from <Automatic>
to <Manual>
, and then use <Show>
to show all the settings.
Go through each setting adding in at least an IPv4 address, Gateway, and DNS Server, for example:
Then go down to the bottom and select 'OK'.
This saves the static IP configuration, but doesn't apply it immediately. To apply the changes, you need to restart NetworkManager:
$ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Then if you run nmcli device show eth0
, you should see the new IP address (the old one might still be attached to the interface at the same time until you reboot):
pi@deskpi1:~ $ nmcli device show eth0
GENERAL.DEVICE: eth0
...
IP4.ADDRESS[1]: 10.0.2.78/24
IP4.ADDRESS[2]: 10.0.2.90/24
You can also configure a static IP entirely via nmcli
without using the UI; see this article on nmcli` from Cyberciti.biz.
For bonus points, you can easily automate changes to network interfaces with Ansible, for example:
- name: Configure static IP address (using Network Manager).
community.general.nmcli:
conn_name: "Wired connection 1"
ifname: eth0
type: ethernet
ip4: "10.0.2.78/24"
gw4: "10.0.2.1"
state: present
notify: restart networkmanager
